TELEMETRY HEART RATE
The StairMaster ® Crossrobics ® 1650 LE features telemetry (Polar ® ) heart rate
monitoring. The system consists of the receiver, located on the stepper, and a
transmitter belt (purchased separately) worn across your chest. The monitoring
function is activated as soon as you strap on the chest belt and step within
range of the receiver in the machine. Two electrodes on the underside of the
chest belt sense the heart rate signal and send it to the receiver. The heart
symbol on the console pulses to indicate that the console is receiving a valid
signal. A microprocessor in the console calculates the heart rate and displays
it, in beats per minute, on the console.
Using the Transmitter Belt
Before you put the transmitter belt on, wet the two electrode patches
(the grooved rectangles on the reverse side of the belt). Secure the transmitter
belt as high under the pectoral muscles (chest) as is comfortable. The transmit-
ter belt should fit snugly and comfortably, and allow normal breathing. When
the console detects a heart rate signal, heart rate is shown in the display auto-
matically. Your heart rate in beats per minute and a pulsing heart icon are dis-
played on the console.
After the initial belt signal is detected, the console will enter a valida-
tion phase in which four good heart beat signals lasting four seconds are
required before locking on telemetry heart rate signals for the duration of the
workout session. During the validation phase the console will not recognize
contact heart rate signals. If you do not see a heart rate on the console, try one
of the following:
• Move closer to the console.
• Tighten the elastic part of the chest belt.
PACEMAKER USERS SHOULD NOT USE THE POLAR
TRANSMITTER BEFORE CONSULTING THEIR DOCTOR.
